A Tip of the Hat for “20 Plus” Years of Service !,
Got this axe sometime in the late 80’s and beat it to death. The butt is flattened out and the edge has shrunk back from years of use and sharpening. The head is bent back a bit and the plastic handle has a split in it. It has a few minor rust spots, gouges and discoloration but still responds to sharpening. It hangs in the front of the garage, gets thrown in the back of the truck and sometimes spends the night outside with its blade nestled deep into the rings of a tree stump.
Yes, they come with no edge and require a few minutes with a file… what else would you expect at this price point? Military exchanges (AAFES, NEX) still sell these for 6 bucks. You can drop 120 bucks on a Gransfors Bruks hatchet and it will stay sharper a bit longer or buy 20 of these. Are there any outstanding features? Yes… it’s the most inexpensive axe that chops and hammers. Why pay more? Nuff said.

|Happy Camper/Hiker,
Must agree with the other reviewer: this is a good, strong axe. The handle is quite sturdy and has the finger-grip style handle. Good for cutting trees about the thickness of an average sized persons thigh. Thicker than that and you will tire yourself out and probably injure yourself. Also good for hammering in tent stakes and such. Comes with a cheap, flimsy, plastic sheath. After four years, surprised my sheath is still useable. Only thing that is a drawback is that it does not come with its own leather sheath as stated from the other reviewer. If you want to attach this axe to a utility belt or back, you have to get creative or try and find a leather sheath for it. Also, good for self defense purposes.

|Not bad, it will do, and at a good price.,
I didnt have high expectations for a $9 axe, but was pleasently surprised by this little guy. It does not come with a sheath or any carrier, so ordering a universal canvas or leather hatchet/axe cover is needed. It comes pretty sharp already and is durable for the price. Its small enough to carry on your hip during camping, but may be a little heavy for putting in the pack for long excursions. There are lighter camp axes out there, but those are also alot more expensive too. The handle seems kind of cheap and is a molded rubber/plastic type, with finger grooves. Coleman shouldve kept this a straight axe and not put the curve in the handle. Its more curved forward than the pictures show, so be aware. The back of the head is flat, but could be wider for using as a hammer to drive in tent stakes. All in all, if youre in the market for a cheap axe that can do the job, I give this a thumbs up. But dont expect TOO much. You wont be too sad if you drop this one or bang it around, and its materials are tough enough to handle it. Its just not as sexy as some out there.
